If getting 14 days of diarrhoea is a mission, I did great. Thanks India.

Glad to see you back GG! I missed ya.

WTF were you doing in India? Looking for a wife?

So it seems like all next gen games will also be coming out on current gen systems (well not Wii U ). What does that say about the launch games we will be getting?

I think its going to be that way for a long time. I think these new systems are going to take awhile to build up a userbase. Its not just a Wii U thing. People are going to look at the value they've gotten, and STILL get, out of last-gen systems which will be likely priced down to around $150 like they should have been years ago by the time Xbox and Playstation hit, look at the big games that will be hitting Wii U and what they're doing...then look at a $400+ pricetag (or something that equals worse than that, through a subscription service) for the new MS and Sony consoles. It should be interesting.

Also, every service people want are already offered on older consoles as well.

They are going to need Halo level killer apps to sell these consoles IMO.

Bro multiple endings is what youtube is for. I would play the game once (maaaaaaybe twice) then youtube the rest of the endings.

These are visual novels. Someone who plays these knows they will be playing them multiple times (making different choices each time) to get the full story. You would miss out on huge parts of the game by going to Youtube for the rest of the endings after only one or two play throughs.

Word of advice (not to spoil your fun)... DO NOT SAVE in any Puzzle Room! The only reason I am not playing VLR is because of a Save Deleting bug. Look up the details if you want, but don't let it discourage you from playing.

Criterion said: "The difference with Wii U was that when we first started out, getting the graphics and GPU to run at an acceptable frame-rate was a real struggle. The hardware was always there, it was always capable. Nintendo gave us a lot of support - support which helps people who are doing cross-platform development actually get the GPU running to the kind of rate we've got it at now. We benefited by not quite being there for launch - we got a lot of that support that wasn't there at day one... the tools, everything.


There's a switch in our build pipeline that says 'use PC textures' and we flipped that and that was all. I can take no credit for that, it was literally ten minutes' work... we are using PS3/360 geometry. It's just the textures we upgraded.


Tools and software were the biggest challenges by a long way... the fallout of that has always been the biggest challenge here. [Wii U] is a good piece of hardware, it punches above its weight. For the power consumption it delivers in terms of raw wattage it's pretty incredible.

Game uses PC Textures. Nice. More tech stuff in the article. Says console has got a bad rap.

Thanks guys.
